5 Players Chelsea need to sign to rebuild themselves for next season

#1 Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan)

Icardi was recently stripped off Inter Milan's captaincy.

The Argentinian hitman has been one of the most consistent strikers since his arrival at Inter Milan. In 210 appearances he has scored 122 goals for the Nerazzurri, and despite their struggles on the pitch he has remained loyal to them and has scored goals consistently.

Since Diego Costa's departure, the Blues have been looking for a striker who can score twenty plus goals for them every season. While Icardi has shown he capable of scoring regularly and there is no doubt that he cannot do the same in the Premier League.

His current contract expires in 2021 and despite Inter Milan constant efforts, signing a contract extension has been a problem for Icardi. He was recently stripped off captaincy and he was also not included in Inter's two games match squad. Also, Real Madrid have reportedly cooled their interest in him, making Chelsea the favourite to sign him.

The former Sampdoria striker has given his all for Nerazzurri, but despite his contant efforts the only thing that Inter have managed is to reach the group stage of Champions League and it looks like they are nowhere near to challenge Juventus for Serie A in coming seasons. Thus, it would be wise for a player of Icardi's quality to leave San Siro to win trophies.
